Seen In the 2009 "Hannah Montana Movie"
PRESS RELEASE: RELEASE DATE
4/13/2009
LOCALLY MADE LIGHT IN HANNAH
MONTANA MOVIE
A wagon wheel chandelier
hand-crafted near Ely, Nevada appears in a key scene in the new
“Hannah Montana Movie” box-office smash released this weekend.
“Even though the light is only
shown for about 2.3 seconds, it’s in a big scene with Billy Ray
Cyrus,” Spring Valley resident Pat Fillman says. “He breaks an
Elvis plate on it.”
Fillman and his wife Kristi are
the owners of D Bar X Lighting and Horns-A-Plenty Antler Art.
Pat has been making hand-crafted antler and wagon wheel lighting
and other home accessories for more than 16 years. With the
exception of 5 years in Phoenix, their business has been based
in White Pine County.
“We got a call from Mon Tan
Productions in Franklin, Tennessee while the movie was in
production last year,” Fillman says. “We couldn’t wait till it
was released and we drove to Salt Lake to see it over the
weekend.
“Usually the chandeliers aren’t in
most of the shots because they are up at the ceiling, but in
this scene Billy Ray Cyrus stumbles into his mom’s shelves with
her famous people plate collection. He catches the plate of
Elvis before it hit the floor, stands up, puts his hand in the
air and says “I got it” and accidentally
breaks the plate on our chandelier.”
This internet-based business at
www.horns-a-plenty.com ships their products to
customers world-wide and their items have been purchased for use
in a number of TV shows, movies and restaurants. TV and movie
credits include: “Soul Man” (lantern lights), “True Blood”
(wagon wheel chandeliers), ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home
Edition” (episode 303, wagon wheel chandelier), “Trick My Truck”
(lanterns, stagecoach show), and now the “Hannah Montana Movie.”

All of us at D Bar X Lighting are happy to have been part of ABC's
"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." (Sundays 8/7c). One of our handcrafted wagon
wheel chandeliers now graces the new Barrett Family home in Peyton,
Colorado (Episode 303).

Billy Jack and Anne have always had a knack for challenges - it used to be
for handling disobedient horses when they were working in the equestrian
business as real life "horse whisperers." Now it's raising and adopting
children deemed "unmanageable" and "un-adoptable" according to the Colorado
Department of Human Services which claims that these are the children no one
wants.
Dusty (15), Daphne (14), AJ (13), and Jennifer (14) were four kids who had
gone from one foster home to another and suffered mental and behavioral
problems stemming from abuse. No one could handle them - these children were
out of control. But Anne and Billy Jack really thought they could work with
these kids, as they had with hundreds of horses in the past. They became
mentors and, soon after, parents. With unending amounts of love, patience
and discipline, Dusty, Daphne, AJ and Jennifer have become healthy and
productive members of the Barrett family.
But now with growing teenagers, in addition to the Barretts' two biological
kids, Rebecca (13) and Clara (11), the four-bedroom farmhouse with only one
and a half bathrooms is getting too tight for eight people. In addition,
Anne quit her job to home-school the four adopted children, as each of them
is behind academically and emotionally. Billy Jack and Anne would like to
take in more kids in need, but can't because of space and the Colorado law
which states that the household has reached the limit for the number of
children allowed per bedroom.
With the help of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and their team of
contractors, the Barrett family will now have a bigger house that all their
children can enjoy, as well as the opportunity to adopt more kids who never
really had a home.

The World's Largest Antler
Chandelier - 10-ft. x 12-ft. Natural Deer & Elk Antler
Chandelier - 2005 |

Pat Fillman of Horns-A-Plenty Antler
Art has become known as the "monster" antler chandelier specialist! This antler chandelier is 10-feet in diameter, 12-feet tall and features
four cascading tiers lined with 67 lights. We estimate that there are more
than 600 natural deer and elk antlers in the chandelier. The 850-lb. light was
installed in 2005 in a 19,000 square-foot, four-story log home near Mammoth, California.
The chandelier was too large to be
transported in one piece, so Pat constructed it in three separate sections at
the Horns-A-Plenty workshop in eastern Nevada. Then he transported it to the
home in California and assembled it on-site. He designed a custom heavy steel
bracket to hang the chandelier from the 32-ft. ceiling. Then he used special
hoists, rigging and scaffolding to raise the light to the perfect level.
The owner commented that he'd
requested bids from several antler art companies but Horns-A-Plenty was "the
only one that would even consider building a chandelier that size." Note:
Larger chandeliers are possible, but would have to be built on-site. Please call
for a quote.
